Cold Feet
Chapter 38
CHRISTINE
After the skank leaves, I turn on Rick.
“What the fuck was that?” I ask.
“Hey,” he says. “I didn’t do anything. You saw what happened.”
“How the hell did you meet that skank?”
Rick decides to omit their history. “She works with Lara. Lara asked her to step in after James’ stroke. You know she hasn’t been at work since his stroke.”
“Well, what the hell? Am I supposed to believe that she just decided to try and kiss you right now? How long have you been working on the wedding together?”
“Christine,” Rick says putting his hands on my shoulders. I brush him off. “Listen, it wasn’t my choice. Lara recommended her after James’ stroke. I trust Lara’s judgement. I had no idea she was going to do that.”
Rick can’t be honest. He thinks it will just make Viola’s situation worse. In all honesty though, he hadn’t tried to do anything.
“What the hell is wrong with your shirt?” I ask realizing that it’s wet.
“She spilled coffee on it.,” I reply.
“Oh how sweet. So she could pretend to wipe it off and feel you up?” I ask cynically.
“Actually, I think it was an honest mistake,” Rick replies.
“What, are you defending her now?” I ask. I’m looking for someone to vent on and he’s the only one in the room.
“Chris, calm down please. It’s over. She’s gone and …”
“You’re damn right she’s gone,” I say. “I’m calling Lara.”
Rick wants to object but he doesn’t. He knows there’s no point. It’ll only make matters worse. I dial Lara and when she answers I first ask her about James. She tells me he hasn’t improved. I then proceed to tell her what just happened and tell her I demand that she fires Viola.
Lara is shocked and struggles to believe it. I put Rick on the phone and he confirms what happened. He hands the phone back to me and Lara tells me, she’ll let Viola go and apologizes. I apologize to Lara as well because I know she has no other back up which means she’ll have to return to the office to run the business herself.
Then I grab Rick and take him home. That night we make love like we have not made love in a long while and I realize I have been neglecting him for Grady. I realize I need to be careful or I could blow this.
